Does anyone have a fully completed hug wall at the start area? It'd be nice to have a screenshot I can compare to so I know what I've got left.



This is what I have, though I know there's one that glitched out that I didn't get. There looks like there's 2-3 gaps though so I dunno.

The flute is used in the alien cavern to summon an alien
The bible pages are glitched. There are six of them to be found. Two are outside the mines (one the wire fence and under a dirt patch), three are in the first inner mine area (one in the upper mouse maze, one in the bottom mouse maze, and one under a dirt patch past the conveyor belt), and one is in the second mines area (the one with the dog cart) in a mouse maze.
But there is an upcoming update that will fix the current bug, where three of the pages register as the same page.

Oh poo poo, I thought that there were just a bunch of copies of the same page in case you missed one. I picked them all up, will I miss out on that story when the update comes?

Backstory spoilers So Dropsy and villain dude are alien brothers, right? http://i.imgur.com/jGyZkzo.png two sides of the same coin

We just fixed a bunch of stuff, including (hopefully) that pesky black screen bug, and we'll be pushing the update tonight if it tests okay. You'll also be able to give the priestess lady the pages too, though the name if a flag was changed so you may need to restart or edit your save file. I want to give it a proper thrashing first before uploading. :)

Finale/story spoiler Also, yes, it appears that Dropsy and the villain are brothers (and they also had another brother, who presumably was killed by the villain, based on the wall photos in that cellar (during the final story segment) and the note in the dilapidated trailer house.

Are you sure about the 3 brothers thing? I assumed the picture is Dropsy, CEO Guy, and the Farmer Dad (guy with the motorcycle at the beginning). I figure part of the story is the brothers resentment to Dropsy being this adopted alien kid and his deal is that he's revealing the conspiracy. I figure the reason his skin is off-color is because of the weird effects from those snack cake things but I don't think he himself is an alien.

Only thing I'm not quite sure of is why the snack cake people are attached to the mine closing?


Looking back I think I'm missing the nightclub bouncer and the alien ring toss guy for the wall, not even sure what to do for either of those.

Well, if you complete the blueprints in the circus A hologram pops out of Dropsy's mother carrying Dropsy, and the two other brothers standing on both sides of her.

I'm still stuck on the tire fetching mission. I'm sure I must have missed something at some point but at this point all I've been doing is going from screen to screen, seeing if I missed an item, and then moving on. I'm sure the answer is get the twinkie things from 5 but I haven't made any progress there either save for peeing on the robot..

Do you happen to know where the tire is? Cause if you use that as a clue, then maybe you can find someone around town that might look similar to the things that took the tire. Like perhaps a gent standing out front of a shop in a costume who hates hugs?

The idea is that he hates is job and being on the job leads to annoying clowns giving him hugs, so try giving him another hug. Yeah, I mostly only figured this out cause it was in the game trailer, but the item he gives you allows you to get the tire.

The next build is going to have a lot more hintage for this one. We teach players not to even try that through interactions with every other NPC, so it isn't very fair as of now. A few reviewers never even completed it, so they had no idea the game had fast travel or companions or 80% of the other content.

I'm a little lost! Dropsy's dad is sick, so I know I need medicine, but medicine costs money. I've got a dog and a mouse. I have a bunch of leads, but I'm not sure how to get past any of them.

Anti-Dracula man won't let me past him to where I assume I can find the garlic I need for the king. I tried to scare him with a Dracula mask, and showed him my cross covered bracelet, neither of which he was interested in.

Next to Fox Mulder's food truck is what I assume is some sort of Area 51 guarded by an MIB, but I don't even see a way in. Is that a dead end?

There is what I assume is some sort of mine and/or secret villain lair behind a fence. I don't have the keys to open it.

There's a couple of places with Scientology(?) goons from the snack cake (medicine?) cult who are blocking my way because I'm not a level 8 Scientologist. I think? I don't understand this group at all, or what they are pushing. It looks like they are all obsessed with some sort of macaroon, or snack cake. How do I purge my thetans enough for them to like me?

Finally, how do I get fast travel? Walking around this huge island is getting old!

The "Scientologists" are actually big pharma, and they have just the medicine you need to advance the plot! However, the place is guarded during the day, so you'll have to find a way to get in during the night. Thankfully you should've just made a new friend who can help you with that.

E: Also, you unlock fast travel not too long past the point where you're at right now.

I imagined them as an overreaching powerful semi-dystopian snack cake company. One of the TVs in their building shows a hair-growth cake, the other shows a healing one. The snack cakes you found in your fridge at the beginning are from the same folks and have their logo. :)

I haven't gotten the DLC from steam yet, but I know you're working on that.

I'm also lost.

In order to get the dog back from the mines I need to visit the brother who has the part I need. And once I reunite the brothers I can probably have one of the crystals to feed the alien who will probably return to the guy in the trailer.

Except to do that I need to fix the boat and the people who can probably fix the boat are busy working on a truck and wishing they had money to fix the microphone. To get the money I need to work at the circus which depend on having the dog which depends on having the boat working and...yeah.

You misinterpreted their thought bubbles here. They are a band and need to get a gig to earn some money and be popular. They have a demo tape of their work somewhere. And there is someone who needs something like that (has a similar thought bubble)

The middle part of the statue is in the area where you find the fishing pole and the bandit/missing person guy. It's in a box and you have to use your mouse friend to get in the box and fetch it.
The skeleton arm is an alternative you can use as a bone to give to the lady at the junk yard for the soup (the other bone is the yellow glowing (radioactive? ) one.
